Chapter 49: Shame

Yicheng!

A military town in the south of Qin, located at the confluence of the Qingshui River and the Longjiang River, along the Qingshui River downstream, the warship can reach the territory of the Chu State, the two sides of the Longjiang River are Longdong, Longxi, down the river, Qin Army Qin Song arrived in Longdong, Longxi.

It became the fortress of Qin's eastward expansion and southern expedition.

In the past, when the Qin State was strong, Yicheng was the bridgehead of the Qin State to resist Dakang, and also invaded the rear of the Chu State.

For Qin, Chu, and Dakang, they are all strategic locations.

Dakang, the decline of the Qin state, and the exhaustion of the Chu state to deal with the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han, led to the decline of Yicheng.

Today, Daqin, the Dakang army has risen again, and the strategic position of Yicheng has once again emerged.

Gongsun Ang, Zhao Rong led the troops to garrison Yicheng, and took the lead in ordering the Huben army to strengthen the city wall and build a defensive offensive.

In order to destroy the Qin State, the Tiger Ben army needs to firmly control Yicheng.

In the dead of night, there was only the roar of the Qingshui River near Yicheng.

At this time, Lu Kang led the remnants of the defeated army and arrived at Yicheng in a panic.

The tiger army carried it, followed by Yuan Mou's body, knocked on the city gate, and returned to the city.

In this battle, the Tiger Ben Army fought in the nest.

Before the battle, Yuan Mou led his troops to die on the battlefield, and the army was attacked by the Qin army.

Of the 20,000 tigers, only a few thousand people returned safely.

Lu Kang himself was also injured, and when he returned with his troops, he didn't know how to explain to Gongsun Ang.

Inside the city!

At midnight, Gongsun Ang finished processing the military report.

From the mouth of the lieutenant who returned to the city with serious injuries one after another, it was learned that at present, the Qin army of the four routes in the north of Yicheng was advancing in unison and killing the Huben army.

I learned that of the more than ten tiger armies dispatched, only two returned safely, and the remaining eleven tiger armies, more than 10,000 elites, all died tragically under the iron sword and lance of the Qin army.

Disgrace!

What a shame.

However, the main force withdrew to Yicheng and sent Bian Sui to bring 20,000 northern expeditions, no matter how arrogant the Qin army was, when he encountered the tiger Ben led by Bian Sui, he should always leave his life.

I had just fallen asleep when there was a sharp knock on the door outside the dormitory.

After waking up, Gongsun Ang opened the door in a single coat and asked unhappily: "Late at night, what is there to report?" ”

The guards were panicked and hurriedly bowed down to report: "General Yu, General Lu has returned with his troops?" ”

"Lu Kang?"

Gongsun Ang pondered slightly, Lu Linxuan's younger brother, a young warrior under his command, he led the troops back, naturally he won a big victory.

A faint smile appeared on his face, and he asked happily, "How was the result?" Did it defeat the Qin army forward? Plundered enough food? ”

The guard hesitated, not daring to look directly into Gongsun Ang's eyes, the general's expression was full of expectation, but unfortunately the results of the front line were disappointing, and he lowered his head and whispered: "Defeat and return, General Bian, General Yuan died on the battlefield, and General Lu's right arm was seriously injured." ”

"What? You repeat? ”

After a while, Gongsun Ang's face turned pale, and he became gloomy again, walking back and forth at the door of the room, looking incredulous.

"The Tiger Ben Army Encountered..."

When the guard wanted to repeat, Gongsun Ang waved his hand, interrupted him, and asked, "Where is Lu Kang?" ”

In the middle of the road, there are only a few forwards of the Qin army, and there are only more than 1,000 Iron Eagle sharp soldiers, no matter how brave and good at fighting, how can they defeat the invincible Tiger Ben army of 20,000, and even the generals who lead the army are killed?

He doesn't believe it, doesn't believe it?

When did the Tiger Ben Army, which followed him in the southern and northern wars and established great feats, become so vulnerable?

The guards didn't dare to hesitate, waited for Gongsun Ang to change his clothes, and led the way in front and led the other party straight to the front hall.

In the front hall, Lu Kang was thinking about how to explain to Gongsun Ang.

Suddenly, there was a shout from the door: "Lu Kang, you led your troops north, what did you encounter on the way, and let the Iron Eagle Ruishi defeat you?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Kang was shocked, hurriedly got up from the soft cushion, bowed down to Gongsun Ang, and said, "General, the last general has betrayed the trust of the general, and the last general is guilty..."

He didn't hide it, and told Gongsun Ang about the Qin Jun Ji Xuanling's personal expedition, the confusion of fish and eyes, the Qin army's ambush and siege, and the design to kill the Tiger Ben army.

Knowing that the Northern Expedition of the Tiger Ben Army had encountered, Gongsun Ang's face skyrocketed, and his iron fist slammed on the desk, shouting angrily: "This season Xuanling is so big, leading the troops to drive the expedition in person, and he is too underestimated to look down on the general?" ”

Prior to this, he always regarded his opponent as Yin Hong, the number one general of the Qin State, and studied Yin Hong's strategy and tactics.

Unexpectedly, the commander of the Qin army turned out to be the new monarch Ji Xuanling, who had not been in power for a long time.

Unbeknownst to God, unknowingly, the ghost killed tens of thousands of tiger soldiers.

"General, Ji Xuanling is good at martial arts, scheming, courageous, and is a very difficult guy." Lu Kang knew that Gongsun Ang was brave and experienced in combat, and he was an outstanding general. However, Ji Xuanling's battle left a deep impression on him.

In the future, if the Tiger Ben Army wants to defeat the Qin Army and win, it needs to change its tactics, quit the practice of seeing no one in sight, and cover the wound on his right arm and say: "General, before fighting with the Qin Army, the scouts never knew the traces of the Qin Army, and the Tiger Ben Army was always passive. ”

Fish eyes are mixed!

The leader is attacked!

This Ji Xuanling has courage and strategy, so what, does he dare to come and seize Yicheng?

Gongsun Ang snorted angrily and asked in a cold voice, "Where is Qin Jun?" ”

According to what Lu Kang said, several Qin armies had converged, and after the hard battle, there were only three or four thousand Qin troops beside Ji Xuanling.

At this moment, Gongsun Ang wanted to personally lead the army out of the city, kill Ji Xuanling in a battle, and eliminate the Qin army to relieve the hatred in his heart.

"General, the Qin army is still in the north, and it is half a day's journey from Yicheng!" Lu Kang reported, and when he hesitated, he stepped closer to Gongsun Ang and said in a low voice: "General, Ji Xuanling dares to drive the expedition in person, leading the troops as the vanguard, and the last general suspects that behind him, there is a huge Qin army. ”

"Afraid of what?"

The Qin army killed tens of thousands of tiger soldiers, and Gongsun Ang had nowhere to vent his anger, he was not afraid that he would not find the Qin army, but he was afraid that the Qin army would not dare to go south. If it is really like what Lu Kang said, Ji Xuanling still has reinforcements, it will be better.

In Qiushui County, the main force of the Qin army was defeated in the first battle, and the troops were led to the north, which happened to completely destroy the Qin state.

It's a pity that the Qin army is still in the north.

If you want to destroy the other party, it will take time, Gongsun Ang glanced at Lu Kang, and ordered, "It's not too early, go and rest, Ben will send scouts out of the city to reconnoiter the traces of the Qin army, once the Qin army is in the city, and then lead the troops out of the city to defeat the other party." ”

According to Lu Kang's report, the position of the Qin army is still half a day away from Yicheng, and since the first battle was lost, it is time to arrange and deploy the next battle to reverse the unfavorable situation of the Tiger Ben army.

"Whoa!"

Lu Kang bowed his head and left aggrieved.

At this time, Gongsun Ang walked back and forth in the front hall with his hands in his hands, walked out of the hall in a short time, and instructed the guards outside: "Send people to the four gates, inform the generals who defend the city, and patrol closely to prevent the Qin army from attacking the city, and in addition, send ten scouts to closely adhere to the traces of the Qin army." ”

"Whoa!"
